first off there are 2 types of wood that are sold as poplar,one is aspen the other is yellow poplar. the aspen is very stringy and doesn't turn well. the yellow poplar turns quite well at least for me.i use yellow poplar for several types of pencil poppers and it works very well.i have pencils that are made of poplar that have caught hundreds of fish and still work.you can seal all you want,as soon as a hook scratchs the surface you seal has been broken.
